“What's the final challenge?”
Xia Lei stood beside Ye Zhongming, feeling a bit anxious.
If she were leading the team by herself, she would never show such hesitation and fear. However, with someone reliable by her side, her feminine fragility unconsciously revealed itself.
“Not too sure,” Ye Zhongming replied after thinking for a moment.
Although someone from his past life had hinted at the content of the final round's challenge, Ye Zhongming couldn't guarantee it would be exactly the same this time.
After all, both the participants and the timing for starting the competition of death roulette were completely different from his previous life.
Meanwhile, Park Soo-young was treating the injured Cloud Summit warriors behind them, with soft light glowing around her as she used up the remaining holy water to restore the wounded as much as possible.
Everyone knew that the last battle was approaching.
Suddenly, a low rumbling sound echoed across the open space in front of everyone. They turned to look, and a uniquely shaped structure began to emerge from the ground in that area.
First, there were eight bone-like railings that were overall curved with sharp ends. Each railing was divided into two sections, connected in the middle by a rounded white metallic ring.
The roots and tips of the eight curved railings, along with these white metal rings, were linked together by three silvery wires, forming an independent space. Below that space was a platform enclosed by the railings.
In simple terms, it resembled a gigantic spider lying on its back, magnified countless times to the size of two basketball courts.
Once the arena fully emerged, everyone could see clearly that this stage, which had some mottled marks on it, emanated a sense of antiquity and decay. Additionally, it seemed to give off an illusory feeling of having a thick, almost palpable scent of blood, despite having no actual smell.
After a crackling sound, the silver wires lit up as if electrified, with currents flowing intermittently across them, clearly indicating that they were not to be touched.
“The final challenge: Competition of Death Duel Arena!”
“Rule 1: Individual challenge system, each side can only send one evolver to the arena at a time.”
“Rule 2: Death elimination system; victory is determined by the death of one side.”
“Rule 3: Victory exemption system; the winning side can choose to continue fighting or leave.”
“Rule 4: Battle pet exclusion; no battle pets are allowed on the battlefield.”
“Rule 5: Final reward system; only the winning side can receive a reward.”
The series of prompts left everyone feeling a bit overwhelmed, and Ye Zhongming couldn't help but furrow his brow.
This was indeed different from the final challenge in his previous life!
Although there had been slight differences in this space compared to his past life, those were just details that did not affect Ye Zhongming's overall judgment. However, the unexpected situation in the final challenge was something he could not foresee.
Just thinking about it caused Ye Zhongming immense headaches.
This final challenge could be said to have completely negated the advantage of Cloud Summit Villa.
Even after suffering considerable losses in the recent chaotic battle with the Radiant World Army, the overall numbers still maintained a certain advantage. Ye Zhongming had put in effort across three layers of space to prepare for the final challenge.
But this individual challenge system had directly erased that advantage.
In his past life, Ye Zhongming knew that the space of the competition of death roulette's final challenge involved facing a high-level monster.
Back then, that monster's strength exceeded many survivors, but there was only one of it. After a tremendous cost, the survivors still managed to achieve victory, and one reward for winning was that as long as they didn't die, their injuries and conditions would be completely restored.
So Ye Zhongming had considered several ways to utilize that reward to prepare for the final battle.
